Improvements are being made Nokie!!! definitely!! which one do you like better? P90x or insanity? I think i would get injured with insanity and i like to do cardio on the treadmill or swimming so i don't think insanity would work for me. Just wondering what you thought? YOu know there are people that do a hybrid of insantiy and p90x together!! i think that's insane!

Disneyland was fun... same time.. a FREAKING workout! I was soooo tired.... We started at 8AM and left at 10:30PM. And I thought I was going to stay until 12AM when they close… No can do, legs and feet gave up on me! LOL I couldn’t even walk anymore! The next day… we were going to have a 6-8 hours drive back home depending on traffic… I couldn’t do it. So, we ended up going to a Thai massage place. Very affordable and OMG… so worth it! They twisted and turned me like a vegetable and gave me a deep tissue massage… after I left there…. I felt soooo good & relaxed! The lady even told me to massage the side of neck because she felt a BIG knot there and it can help with head aches… I was shocked… I didn’t even tell her I was prone to headaches. As for diet, it was better than expected. Yes, it was too expensive... every meal for the both of us was almsot $30 (Including snacks).. CRAZY!!! I had a lot of coffee & water thought... Now back to reality. I swear… if the environment is bad… the attitude & tensions are bad…. It’s affecting health and eating habit. I need to find a way to release the stress and anger somewhere… I can't always run to Disneyland!
can you find a new job Nokie!! you need too!! i know a few people that stuck it out in stressful jobs with issues and i'm telling you it's not worth it at all!! It does affect your health and just the happiness in your life. i'd rather be at a job that doesn't pay as much and be happy then a job i hate!! i know it's easier said than done though. But now is the time to look BEFORE you have children. once you have children everything is so much harder i think due to all the responsibilities that come with kids. hope it works out!
Yeah…Becky, it is easier said than done and it’s harder and harder finding another job just because our economy is not in the best condition. Also, just because I leave a place for another place, doesn’t make it any better… it might even be worse… who knows. But I’ve been looking tho… random nights of “researching”… It’s sad because it’s NOT the workload it’s the people… it’s even more sad when I’m stressing out like crazy, not eating lunch or taking any breaks because I need to reach a deadline while others are sleeping on their desk and taking long hours for lunch…. When we report to HR… it’s dismissed b/c they are related to a manger… sad… really f-ing sad because it’s not the 1st or the 5th times.. It’s ALL the time!…. Breathe… hmm.. for some reason… after venting that.. I’m actually hungry now... Imma go warm up food so I can eat and work!
I might do extra workout when I get home just to get frustration out... it's been really really hard lately and I haven't been eating. I list food but I don't even finish half of them. Last night hubby was worried because he noticed I didn't eat much while we were in Disneyland or at home... It's not on purpose.. I just don't feel like eating... But i do force myself b/c I get dizzy when I workout at home....
i know how you feel nokie! There are a lot of creepy people in the workforce! I've known quite a few people that have had problems at work. i think especially in the business and corporate america world but really they are everywhere. I know it's hard to eat when you feel upset and stressed. I still think you should keep looking for something else though. but i know your right it doesn't always mean it will be better somewhere else. Only you know what to do what is best for you!
maybe you should think about starting your own business? I think you mentioned that before. you could always start it on the side?? You could even do accounting on the side?
Nokie, I know how you feel. I know I mentioned more than once how bad it was at old job, then I was lucky becuase right before I hit breaking point a position just happened to open up at old company. So don't give up, something will happen eventually! No job is worth that kind of stress, so keep looking!
Work… gets worse every day but it is what it is… Anyways, I haven’t been updating journal because I’ve been bummed from work also I injured myself – double bummed. doctor did not want me to do insanity until I completely recover, who knows when. left foot and knee joints hurt and sometime I limp. doctor and girlfriends told me to do kick boxing or go to those martial arts classes or mediate to take out anger. It doesn't help when I don’t eat and just drink alcohol after work. Yes, I hate to say it but work did mess up life for the last few weeks. It sucks that people and managers talk to the VP and HR and nothing happens… It’s pretty depressing and yes, it was getting me depressed. But I had to snap out of the little circle. I’m working on getting out of there but hanging on so I have a steadying income. I’m back, I got myself together. It’s NOT worth stressing about and it’s not worth messing up personal life after working hours. They don’t care about me or health. So, it’s up to me to take care of myself and health. I know there’s no growth for me even if I work a$$ off (unless I'm related!!! ).
So, having said that… I will not update the Insanity journal anymore only because doctor don’t want me to do something insane while I’m “somewhat” injured. LOL… I did… order this thing called Turbo Fire DVD... its kick boxing. I usually go to the gym to do kick boxing but work has been crazy to the point I can’t go anymore. The DVD is almost the same as gym workout… I hope it will come soon!!! Anyways, instead of going out wasting money & drinking empty calories… I can come home to workout and take out anger at home!I will update regular journal
i've known a lot of people that have HATED their jobs at one point. you are definitely not alone. i know it's hard to really focus on diet and exercise with an injury and work issue!!! very hard!!!
Just do your best that's all you can do. have you ever though of swimming?? that would be a great way to exercise and prevent further injuries?? good luck with turbo fire! Nice to see you back too!
I'm sure you'll find a way to resolve your problems soon enough.
Keep believing in the future and keep believing in yourself. You're a wonderful person and i'm sure things will work out for you in the fullness of time.
Thanks for your understanding
